' TIE, TIE rIEoEeoons, AND vrETr on or MAKI G Application filed May 17, 1925. SeriaI'NQL oa'e sj This invention isan improvement in ties and has particular reference ,to wholly or partly lined ties, and to the method-of con-1- necting thelining to the body-material of the 5 tie. 1

Ties oftsilk and like goods are formed from blanks which are cut from piece goods, the blanks usually being in two pieces, for several reasons, among which may be mentioned the narrow widths in which such goods are usu ally supplied, and to insure the matching ofthe pattern at the ends of the tie when-lying along sideeach other} The two pieces are connected at about the middle of -thetie,; and the blank is folded into, tubular form, and the edges'of the blank-are'tu'rned 'overonto the rear face, and usuallylapped-along the middle line of the tie, forming'thusa tubular structure. Y T' In all ties, at lining is provided of suitable material, whichislooselyheld inthe tubular tie formation, as by basting, so thatrelative movement between the tubular formationof the body material andthelining materialis facilitated, thu'sto prevent as far as possible distortion or deformation; of the body material by drawing of thelining,

When therear face of the body material. is of a suitable I character, 7 the lining may be omitted atthe endsof the, tie, the back or inner face of'the body material providing a suitable ornamental display at these points. Where the back of the body material is not of V a suitable character, the lining is extended to the ends of the tie, but-in either case itis practically impossible by usual methods to connect the lining in amanner such thatit will-not become displaced inv usage. A

It is impractical to connect the lining to the body by stitching the ed'gesof lining and. body together prior to folding. A smooth fold withoutrumpling would be. diificultto attain, and the edge of the lining would not offer a firm support to the edge of the tie,'and moreover would beextremely liable to displacement, thus 'causinggthe tie to sag. or break down at theedge: I p

- A primary object of the present invention:

is the provision of a tie material,-including abody and a lining secured together throughout the extent of the contacting area of the elements.

. Another objectis the provision of atie, wherein the lining is made into what is substantially an integral part thereof, being secured to the body. material 'of'; the tie throughout the extent thereof; i

gAnotherobject is the provision of a tie material having'a lining so connected tothe body materialthat a blankmay-be folded into tlieforni of a tie without wrinkling or rumpling of either body or. lining.

'QAnotherobject isthe provision of a tie material from fwhich a blank may be cut having a lining secured to the body throughout the areaof the lining, and'leaving a part of the" body material exposed.

'Another'object is the provision of a tie material from which blanks may be cuthav- .ing a lining secured to the body throughout the extent of the "lining and so arranged that thehidden parts of the lining may be of cheaper material than the exposed parts.

7 Another object is'the provision of a tie material having a lining covering all or a part of the rearor inner face of the material,

and secured thereto throughout the, area thereof, and of a character such that a tie may be completed by turning overthe edges of a blank onto the rear face thereof and cementing the edges to'the blank.

Another object is the provision of a method and with the lining substantially an integral part of the body material.

With theseand other objects'in view the: invention consists in the, construction and novel combination of parts fully described hereinafter, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims appended hereto, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size and of asection of the improved tie material, with a blankseparated therefrom.

of forming a tie wholly or partially lined alternate construction,

. tegral structure.

Fig. 2 is a rear view of the completed tie.

' Fig-3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. I Fig. d is a view similar to Fig. 1 of an Fig; 51s a partial plan view looking from the rear of a formed tie made frointhe mate rial shown in Fig. 4;.

The tie material shown in Fig. 1 includes a body material 1 of a'suitablecharacter, as for instance silk, and a liningZ-of anysuitable nature, preferably harmonizingwith the body material, and providing anornamental surface for the rear or inner face of'such ma terial. The lining is vsecured to thebody material throughout the area of the lining, and

thelining may be coextensive with the body contacting surface, so that the body material andlining constitute wh is in effect an inhe blanks forthe tie are usually cut on the blas, 1n the manner ind cated at in F 1g. 1, the reference character ind cating one section of the cut blank. Because of the narrow widths in which such goods are supplied and to insure matching of the pattern at the ends when lymg. along side each other, the. tie

blanks are usually in two pieces, each piece constitutingabout one-half the tie. It will be evident frointhe description that each blank in the Fig. 1 construction is composed of a layer of body material, and a layer of lining coextensive therewith, and firmly se-' cured thereto throughout the entire area of the contacting surfaces.

To form the tie, the two pieces of the blank are united, after which the side edges of the blank arefolded over upon the body, as in dicated at 5 and 6 in Figs. 2 and 3. The fold 6 which is outermosthas the edge turned in between the fold and the fold 5 as indicated at 7, and the folds 5 and 6 are secured to gether 1n a suitable manner, as for instance by stitches 8. 7

So made, thetie is a structure wherein the lining is closely and intimately united with the body material throughout the area of the tie, so that there is no possibility of relative displacement, and the structure is such that there is little possibility of wrinkling in usage. r

Insome cases, and especially in ties of a tubular formation, the lining only visible at the ends of the tie as shown. in Fig. 2.

In'such cases, it may not be desired to provide a tie with a relatively expensive lining throughout its extent, in which case the material may be prepared as shown in Fig. 4.

In this. instance the body material 9 of thetie is provided with a composite lining,

composed of a central portion 10, and side portions 11. 1 The "portion lO which covers the greater part of thebody material may be of a" relatively inexpensive nature, or where additional stiffness or body is desired, it may be of a material suitable to serve'either or 'both'purpo'ses; Theside portions 11 are of goods of a higher grade and of a more ornam'entalcharacter,as for instance silk or thellike;

ofthegportions 10. and lLto be unitedto the body are similarly. coated, and superposed onto the body material. Byheavyi'pressure the lining portions andthe body arefirmlyconnected. In' practice: al portion of each stripjll' willlap upon the portion 10, Ithelap ping indicated at 12 in Fig. 4, andthislap ping portionsis -usunllyyfree fromthe portion .10, although it is obvious that it may besecured theretoof. desired In cutting thetiezmaterialuinto blanks, the patterns are. so. .arrangeddhat the pieces of thezblanks alternate. The Wide end of one piece. is atone :sidexedge of the piece goods,

while the wide-fiend o fthe complementary piecezrisatthe other side. This attains-economyi of. the material, and also insures that the pattern will correspond at the ends of the tie,, when the: said ends, lie along side each other. In order toenable the usual method of cutting,-1itis advisable to arrange the lining portions 10 and Has shownin'Fig. 4, even though in the completed blankthere is a. strip of relatively expensive lining ma terial at the center of the tie which is hidden within thetubular structure of the complete tie. 1

The pieces oftheblank 13*are cut from the material ofFig. 4, in suchman'ner that theljargeend of each piece is cut from a strip 11- and the adjacentpart of the body material; When new the blank is folded into the tubular formation, the lapping folds 14: and15 will concealgallof the lining except portions of strip 11; which is as before stated of i an ornamental nature. Otherwise the .tieis constructedthe same that shown a 111i Fig.2. 7

I ture.

In ties made from goods wherein the rear.

or inner face of the :materi-al is sufficiently ornamental for display, the tiemay be constructed by omitting the strips 11. That is the entire liningwill be'constituted by the portion leaving a strip of the body material at each edge unlined. When now the blank is folded, it will be evident that at the ends of the'tie the rear or inner face of the body material will be visible, while the lining'will be hidden Instead-of a tubular'structure, with lapping folds directly connected, the tie may takes place.

be constructed by turning over the edges of the blank a short-distance like a hem and connecting them by bar tacking, that is, con

longitudinally resilient material, and an adhesive backing of elastic material adhesively secured to the back of the face piece and extending throughout the area of the face piece.

within the tubular strucnecting the spaced folds or edges across the body of the tie. With this construction, a saving of body material is effected.

It will be obvious that with a'tie material of a character suchthat there is no nev cessity to match pattern at the ends of the tie when lying alongside each other, the blank might be a unitary structure, in which case the material could be made as shown in Fig. 1, or as shown in Fig. 4, or it could be 'made with merely the lining portion 10;

One of the substantial advantages of the improved tie is that the united liningforms a firm reinforce or support for the edges of the'tie where sagging or breaking down first 2. A necktie, composed of a'face fabric, a
